There's No Way Around Repentance
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

There's No Way Around Repentance 

There's no way around repentance
It's the only way to the Cross
All our good works fall by the wayside
To God they are all but dross
Repentance and faith in the Saviour
God's Word as yea and amen
Jesus Christ the reality of truth
You must be born again

You've tried pills and other medications
To try and give you some peace
But only faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
Is the answer for sins release
You can take God's Word for  assurance
For for one thing He doesn't lie
The core of man's problem is Spiritual
Guess who has unlimited supply

So are you up for the challenge 
You can start it today with a prayer
Please dear God if You really exist
Help me to know You are here
I'm tired of doing things my way
I've been successfully failing at that
Help me to learn to have faith in Your Word
And I'll trust You to help me with that!

Hallelujah what a Saviour!

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
